We’ve all been there. You’re sitting in class when your stomach starts to growl uncontrollably in the middle of a quiet lecture. Embarrassed, you wrap your arms across your tummy to suppress the noise. But it’s too late. All of your classmates have heard your grumbles and there’s no recovering from there.

4. After sampling a few items, you and your friends discuss which foods are worth going back for. (All of them?)

9. The fullness is actually painful and you find yourself wondering: did I just become a beached whale?
